This sh*thead deserves to rot in prison a lot longer than three more years for taking such advantage of his elderly landlord. No doubt he was selling the stolen antiques to support his drug habit. Why do people say drug offenses are victimless crimes?

The DA's investigation report on the Covarrubias shooting does not paint a flattering picture of Lt. Ast at all. His actions helped precipitate what happened, despite his attorney's apparently successful strategy to minimize Ast's involvement in the chain of events. Evidently the arbitrator bought Ast's version.

In any event, the arbitrator has ruled, and now it's up to the City of Santa Maria to decide whether they want to take the risk of bringing Lt. Ast back and putting him in charge of people. I would not want to work for him.

Devices were found on campus during the Persian Gulf War protests in 1991. That wasn't all that long ago.

It's just not a good idea to leave anything unattended in a public place, be it an airport terminal or a college campus.

I don't know you so I don't know if you're paranoid or not, loonpt, but reading your posts over the months makes me believe that you are absolutely incapable of realizing [or admitting] that people who hold views other than yours may be right.

I gather loonpt doesn't know the history, nomoresanity. There have been real bombs planted at UCSB in the past. The fire that gutted the Registrar's Office in 1991 was likely caused by an incendiary device. A device exploded and killed a custodian at the Faculty Club back in 1968. Other devices have been found at various buildings at UCSB over the decades. It also happens at other universities and colleges across the country.

So, yes, loonpt, there IS such a thing as a suspicious backpack on a college campus, though I gather your worldview doesn't admit that the possibility exists.
